The Date#toDateString method would result always returns in that particular format.

So either you need to generate using other methods available or you can remove using several ways,

1. Using String#split, Array#slice and Array#join

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');

// split  based on whitespace, then get except the first element

// and then join again

alert(mydate.toDateString().split(' ').slice(1).join(' '));

2. Using String#replace

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');

// replace first nonspace combination along with whitespace

alert(mydate.toDateString().replace(/^S+s/,''));

3. Using String#indexOf and String#substr

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');

// get index of first whitespace

var str = mydate.toDateString();

// get substring

alert(str.substr(str.indexOf(' ') + 1));
